    I think 5c pieces were the right size, maybe10c.

    On one of my heads I left some old injectors in there and sealed up the fuel line connection on the injector.

    Some companies that sell carby kits sell dummy injectors to block off the ports.

    Another head I have has had the ports filled with epoxy metal.

    I've seen them welded up too.

    Another way that works really well is to use gearbox drain plugs, they screw straight in in place of the injector holders. The kind with the 17mm hex.
    Cool, thanks Pete I'll give it a go.

          I dropped by the nut and bolt shop today and picked up plugs that screwed straight in with a hex head, works a treat
